Interactive Spaces Using QR Codes and Augmented Reality (AR)

Resources Used

Knowing how to balance inquiry along with other pedagogical teaching strategies…

  • Reflect on ways to move forward
    • How do we promote inquiry?
  • How do we create school/classroom conditions to encourage curiosity?
  • More open-ended questioning, more curiosity
  • “How” and “Why” to students go about learning, not just the “What”
